An Ipecac Famine.

According to the Natural Druggist
there is some prospect of an ipecac fam
Inc, so that the medicine consumers not
only of this country but also of Europe
will be obliged to find some other Their
apeutic agent to turn their stomachs
wrong side out. The principal source
of ipecac is Brazil, where it is gathered
at all seasons of the year, but principal
ly during the month of January to
March. 1t is reported that the cholera
is prevailing in this ipecac-producing
portion of South America to such an ex-
tent that it will be some time before the
trade in the drug can be resumed The
mixtures, etc., draws heavily on the
drug has rapidly advanced during the
last thirty days. The English supply
has become SO short that London firms
have bought up American supplies. 1t
is estimated by those who are in a posi-:
ton to Judge that, unless fresh supplies
reach this country from its habitat, the
entire stock of the country will be ex-
hausted within few weeks. Ipecac is
a very old drug, having been known in
Europe for over 200 years. 1t is extern
sively used in almost all kinds of dis
eases of the mucous membranes and in a
large list of other troubles. 1t is quite a
popular remedy in domestic practice and
is supposed to enter into many of the
patent medicines of the market. There
are other remedial agents that can be
substituted in practice for this drug, so
that it is doubtful if any lives will be
lost even if the supply becomes exhaust

Congressman Barry Interviewed.

Representative Barry,
of Mississippi, arrived in the city this
morning. To the reporter he said
''The railroad corporations are deter
mined to make the Interstate law odious
if they can, and impelled by that mo-
tive, they imposed conditions that peo-
pie seeking pleasure trip would not
comply with. Public sentiment is I'M
dergoing marked change with regard
to the Interstate law and the commits
sion. At first the railroads succeeded
in creating the impression that the law
weuld work serious injury to commerce,
and they even raised a feeling of preju-
dice against the commission. But the
people are beginning to see through the
selfish designs of the railroads. As a
general thing the people are slow to see
the real drift of question like this, but
they never fail to discern the truth in
the end, and when they do they are i'm
movable. The railroad corporations
have made an issue with the people, and
now that the issue is understood, public
sentiment will sustain the Interstate
Commission in a rigid enforcement of

The Correct Time.

There are very few men who do not
pride themselves on always having the
correct time; and wonderful and delicate
mechanisms are devised to enable them to
do so. But the more delicate chronome-
ter is made, the more subject it becomes to
arrangement, and unless it be kept always
perfectly clean, it soon loses its usefulness.
What wonder. then, that the human ma
chinese much more delicate and intri-
cate than any work OF Man-should require
to be kept thoroughly cleansed. The liver
is the main spring OF this complex struc-
ture, and on the impurities left in the
blood by a disordered liver, depend most
of the ills that flesh is heir to. Even con-
sumption (which is lung-scrofula), is
traceable to the imperfect action of this
organ. Kidney diseases, skin diseases,
sick headache, heart disease, dropsy, and a
long catalogue of grave maladies have
their origin in torpid, or sluggish liver.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, by
establishing healthy, normal action Of
the liver, acts as cure and preventive OF
these diseases

deliver it in the most creditable manner.
The Societies were first addressed by
Rev. 5. III. Werlein, of New Orleans,
whose subject was,
"THE SPIRIT OF TIE TIMES"
He handled his theme in a mastery
manner, showing that he was a practical
and progressive man. Then came the
oratorical contest. The Union Literary
Society was represented by Messrs. NJ.
H. Wilkinson, j. NJ. Sims and A L.
Rumble. The representatives of the
Franklin Institute were, r. Ii. Wynn,
w. w. Drake and f. r. Alexander All
spoke well, and the friends of each
speaker wers confident of his success,
each society feeling confident that one
of its representatives would be the for
tunate one. The committee awarded
the medal to Mr. Alexander.
On Wednesday, the commencement
day, the college chapel hall was crowded
with people, who had assembled to wit
ness the graduating exercises, and to
hear the speeches of the graduates At
ter the speeches, the diplomas were
awarded by the President, the following
receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts,
viz: o. K. Andrews, of jackson, Miss,
c. K. Lewis, of Ruston, La, NJ. S,
Standifer, of Ruston, La, and ]. NJ
Sullivan, of Grenada, Miss. The degree
of Bachelor of Science was conferred
upon B. n. Smith, of Jackson, La
President Adams then delivered the
baccalaureate address to the class. No
higher compliment could be paid it
than to say it was one of his happiest
efforts, and although he spoke over an
hour, the audience listened the whole
time with rapt attention. Bishop
Keener, the President of the Board of
Trustees, then made the announcements
for the next session, and thus ended one
of the most interesting sessions that has
ever taken place at Centenary College.
The outlook for the College is unusu-
ally bright. The same professors have
been engaged for next session, and if
the Louisiana and Mississippi Confer
ences will only prove faithful to their
trust, Centenary will soon stand among
the first of Southern schools. The last
commencement is pronounced by all to
be the most interesting that has taken
place in several years. The music was
furnished by the celebrated Mexican
band of Natchez, which contributed in
no small degree 20 the success of the
exercises. o. K. ANDREWS.
